Noticed Blood In Ear After Inserting A Qtip

My 18 month son pushed a Qtip into his ear. Small blood stain on the Qtip...he did cry instantly but is quiet & peaceful now. No signs of pain or discomfort or any drainage. He is already taking amoxicillin for upper respiratory tract infection.

Do I need to rush him to a doc?.
